  • Description

    Born in Rio de Janeiro, professional musician, writer, certified sommelier (WSET3, Spanish, Argentinean and French Wine Specialist), Portuguese teacher, former bank manager, amateur sailor, Reiki therapist 3rd degree. Absolutely in love for viniculture, sports, sea, literature, Cervantes, J.L.Borges, Led Zeppelin, Tom Jobim, Coltrane and arts at all.
    I've visited fourteen countries and this is a turning point of life.
    PID (International Driver License) on.
    That's why starting a long season outside my birthplace.
    Feel myself openminded, humorous, intuitive, able to any handwork, naturally.

    I've been working for two decades with music, studios recording, composing arrangements and original tracks for independent productions in Brazil.

    A few artistic jobs:

    "Wine: art in Transition" https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0BNV8H21B (literature)

    "Sincita & Rico" https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0BGKWR1YD (Cartoon)

    "Ciudad de paz" https://soundcloud.com/mariovivas-encuentros/01-ciudad-de-paz (Music)

    Last five years, I've published a few fictional books and a stage play.
    Last december my first book about wine was released and now I'm working a new one.

    See a little more: www.instagram.com/maviv.somm/ or www.linkedin.com/in/maviv-somm/

    Essentially I'm looking for Nature, urban aspects, silence, music, quietness to write, to deal and change experiences with people, partners, hosts, teammates... Good vibes at all !!
